Thomas Peter Odell, conocido mundialmente como Tom Odell, nació el 24 de noviembre de 1990 en Chichester, una pequeña ciudad en el condado de West Sussex, Inglaterra. Hijo de una pareja profundamente conectada con las artes, su madre era maestra y su padre piloto de avión, Tom mostró gran interés por la música desde temprana edad. A los 7 años ya aprendía piano, un instrumento que se convertiría en el pilar de su carrera.
La adolescencia de Tom estuvo marcada por su inclinación hacia la música. A los 13 años, comenzó a escribir canciones, inspirado por artistas como Elton John y Leonard Cohen. Estudió en la Seaford College, donde formó su primera banda, Tom and the Tides. Aunque la banda no perduró, esta experiencia le brindó sus primeros contactos con el mundo de la música en vivo y la composición.

Durante este periodo, comenzó a tocar en pequeños locales y pubs, refinando su estilo y ganando experiencia. La vida en Londres no fue fácil, pero sus perseverancia y talento empezaron a rendir frutos.

I Know (Live from Dublin) [Bonus Track] Lyrics[Verse 1]
Cold hands, white light
Yellow lamps on blackened skies
Duffel hoods and deep brown eyes
I'll sing you songs that I think you’ll like
We'll walk to places we always go
A million faces I don't know
I’ll say the words you'd always hope
Hearts on racing even though
[Chorus]
I know what you told me
I know it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yea
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yea
I keep on falling on you
[Verse 2]
On the way you stand, on the way you sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
The little lines that write your face
The winter nights you'd come and stay
Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way I yearn, the way I cry
The way our love rolls with the tides
But we'll make up every time
[Chorus]
I know what you told me
I know it’s all over
And I know I can’t keep calling
Every time I run, yea
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know it's all over
And I know I can’t keep calling
Just every time I run, yea
I keep on falling on you
[Bridge]
Oh, I keep on falling on you
Oh, yeah, I keep on falling on you
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what you told me
(I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling)
Just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can’t keep calling
Every time I run
I keep on falling
[Chorus]
And I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know, I know
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yea
I keep on falling
And I know what you told me
And I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling, but every time
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know mister tall man calling
Hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
